Mr. Not Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 QUOTE (Territorial_Game @ Oct 19 2012, 07:59 PM) Payday here... finally got Afterman: Ascension! I've given it two full spins, plus a couple repeat songs (Domino, Holly Wood, Mothers of Men), and it sounds amazing!!! Can't wait to get deeper into this one and then hear part 2! Good songs. Vic the Butcher is my favorite. Just awesome experimental coheed. Reminds me of Al the Killer. And Goodnight Fair Lady's intro reminds me of the ones from Once Upon Your Dead Body or Mother May I... Or maybe some sort of morbid crossbreed. The only song I'm not feeling is "The Afterman" itself. It's great aside from the chorus. The vocal is so plain that is just disappoints me, I'd love to hear Claudio sing some great high long high notes during that chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, it's great. I like The Afterman track, but haven't really gotten into Subtraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 After several spins, I am really digging this record, blows YotBR away... however, The album feels incomplete, and for album oriented rock I am left at a musical standstill and it as a whole dosen't stand by itself... It feels like the first half a double album, and not the first part of a two album suite.... I think once part tow is out that you would need to listen them back to back to hear it proper... Listening to this without the follow up I feel is like trying to listen to the first LP of "The Wall" and having to wait a few months to finish the album... I would have waited and released the album as a whole.... then again, marketing wise Brilliant move by the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by far their shortest record and it's got me craving part II... Waiting for the glorious day the two unite. YotBR was great by the way. This band has yet to disappoint me, NWFT is the only album that is a majority of just decents to duds imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandDesigner Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 YotBR was great by the way. This band has yet to disappoint me, NWFT is the only album that is a majority of just decents to duds imo. Same. I thought YOTBR was awesome, especially Guns of Summer, Far, Made Out Of Nothing, and In The Flame of Error. NWFT is definitely their weakest, the ending suite falls flat and it doesn't have the finality that the final album in the saga should have and the shorter songs are weak (though I LOVE G&G and Justice...)

RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 "The Afterman" video is absolutely BRILLIANT! Coheed is the new Rush. JMO. I love this band. Claudio is a genius. His voice is beyond incredible yet Rush fans rip it, yet they defend Geddy! Classic. The torch will be passed. I can't wait to see Coheed at The Warfield next year. They were great opening for Iron Maiden. Then again I flew to LA to see a few NEVERENDER shows. Met Claudio. He told me that he loves Rush. Of course he does! What a no brainer! LOL! Cheers!! COHEED RULES. Just watch "The Afterman" video. There is hope through tragedy............................... or is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The aftermath has to be my least favorite coheed album by default simply because its the shortest! Just kidding, 2nd least favorite to NWFT for that reason, NWFT is the only thing close to a bad coheed album. Love mothers of men! Classic coheed with a beautiful melody. The truth will cut you down to pieces184, lets burn her down! I will post a cool recent concert by them in full from YouTube when I get home tonight. You can probably find it yourself through a simple search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love "Welcome Home" when Claudio whips out the Alex doubleneck white guitar! HE RULES! Many Maiden fans were very impressed! Sorry Duck! I love you man but Coheed is NOT EMO! EMO BANDS ARE SHIT! More like ELMO from Sesame Street. COHEED RULES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for The Warfield! I got my tickets in the mail today!!!I saw them open for Maiden and they blew me away. Can't wait to see them headline again! The NEVERENDER TOUR in Los Angeles was one of the greatest rock and roll trips I have ever taken! I usually only fly for Rush.Even my wife loves this band which is shocking! I've taken Wendy all around the nation for Rush shows and she like Coheed better than Rush! Even I can't believe it but it's fine with me! She is 38. I am 44. COHEED RULES!

Mr. Not Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Mothers of Men, such beautiful melodies... And finally! A good use of female vocals in their songs. They're both capable of making right,But no bandage can end can mend all these parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get into them either. Their vocals seem way to poppy to me. Like some annoying metalcore. Say what you want about them sounding similar to Geddy. I don't hear it at all.
